00:35No, it's lovely to just see what's happening recently in local areas, you know, and it's
00:44nice to have something nice to celebrate.
00:46And what do you think of what you've seen of the food?
00:49Beautiful, beautiful food, and she's employed local people, getting young girls into employment
00:58who probably wouldn't be in employment.
01:00Makes a difference, we need that in the area, don't we? It's not easy for youngsters, kind
01:05of, from this area to get their first steps on the ladder, is it really?
01:08No, so it's really good what she's doing, I'm really proud to be a part of it, and I
01:14will be promoting it to people.
01:16So what have you sampled so far?
01:19Waffles, they're great, aren't they?
01:21Bell's special recipe.
01:23The waffles are lovely.
01:25Harrison, how are you, mate?
01:27So you're a regular customer now?
01:29Yeah.
01:30What do you think of the grub?
01:31Alright.
01:32What's your favourite, then, that you've sampled?
01:36Yeah, you go for that, yeah, yeah.
01:38Cool, it's nice to have this on your doorstep, isn't it, you know what I mean?
01:41You might be putting on a few calories over the next year, though.
01:44Cheers, Harrison.
01:47So Ram, how are you doing?
01:49Alright, not too bad.
01:50You used to have a shop just over the road, didn't you?
01:52Yes, I used to have a shop, New Jersey.
01:53What was it called?
01:54New Moon News.
01:55Ah, great.
01:56How long did you have that for?
01:57About 32 years.
01:59Wow.
02:0032 years.
02:01And what do you think of what you've seen here, the shop they've created, what do you
02:04think of it?
02:05It's very nice, very nice.
02:07Needed in the area, yeah?
02:08Yes, we need it, we need it, we need it.
02:10Yeah.
02:11And have you sampled some of the goods?
02:13Sorry?
02:14Have you sampled some of the goods?
02:15What do you think?
02:16You enjoying?
02:17Yes, very nice, very nice.
02:18Good stuff.
02:20Thank you, Ram.
02:21You're welcome.
02:22So Casey, you're one of the employees here at the new Perfect Desserts.
02:25How are you getting on?
02:26I'm finding it really well, actually.
02:28It's a nice place to be and the atmosphere in here, it's just nice to work.
02:33Nice vibe.
02:34And is it your first step on the working ladder?
02:36Yeah.
02:37Yeah?
02:38And how difficult is it for a young person kind of looking for work around this area?
02:41It is very difficult because most people just don't realise how very hungry we are.
02:45Yeah.
02:46But Bally's and Bally's have a position in everything and Booter, and like,
02:50Booter's trained us to know what to do and everything.
02:54Yeah.
02:55So that's good and actually, again, it's a place to learn.
02:57So you're actually getting that chance that first year.
02:59Yeah.
03:00And that just means a lot to a young person, I should imagine, yeah?
03:02Are your parents very proud?
03:04Yes.
03:05Have they come in for a bit of pud?
03:07Have they tried the whole, well, that's my daughter, so I want some discount?
03:10Do you know what I mean?
03:11Yeah.
03:12What's your favourite food not to eat but to make, to prepare?
03:16I like doing the waffles.
03:18Yeah?
03:19And the donuts as well.
03:21Yeah, yeah.
03:22Because I like to decorate them and just make them look all nice and everything.
03:25One of the customers said that they look very pretty, don't they?
03:27Not only do they taste good, but they look good, you know.
03:30So what would you like to do kind of, you know, down the line,
03:33kind of where do you see yourself, you know, 10 years, 20 years from now?
03:37Have you thought that far or is that too much in the distance?
03:39I haven't thought that far yet, but I would like to get and achieve more further down the line.
03:45Yeah.
03:46But, like, as we say, this is just the starting point and it's going to help us grow.
03:51Great stuff. Well, we wish you all the best.
03:53Thank you very much, Casey.
